Capacity and Optimal Resource Allocation in the Degraded Gaussian Relay Channel with Multiple Relays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine the capacity region of a degraded Gaussian relay channel with multiple relay stages. This is done by building an inductive argument based on the single-relay capacity theorem of Cover and El Gamal. We then give an iterative algorithm for determining the optimal power allocation between the transmitter and the relays. We show that in the case when all noise sources have equal power this results in a coding strategy that delivers SNR growth that is asymptotically linear with the number of relays.

Relay Channel
In a relay channel, between the sender X and the the receiver Y lies at least one relay. Generally, the relay can both transmit its own information and help forwarding other sources’ information. This summary considers the latter case, i.e., the relay intends solely to help the receiver. The relay and the transmitter cooperate to resolve the receiver’s uncertainty. Due to the presence of relay,...
متن کاملOptimal Power Management to Minimize SER in Amplify and-Forward Relay Networks
This paper studies optimal power allocation to minimize symbol error rate (SER) of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity networks. First, we analytically solve optimal power allocation problem to minimize SER for three different scenarios, namely, multi-branch single-relay, single-branch multi-relay and multi-branch multi-relay cooperative diversity networks, all subject to a given total re...
متن کاملRelay Selection Fairness and Resource Allocation for OFDMA Networks
In this paper, resource allocation for a relay-based multi-user Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) uplink system is studied. All the relays adopt the decode-and-forward protocol and assist the transmission from the source to destination. In current wireless networks, the terminal depends more on battery power. Given that, battery life is limited, prolonging the service life o...
متن کاملAdaptive Resource Allocation for a Two-Way OFDM Relay Network with Fairness Constraints
In this letter, we propose a new resource allocation scheme for a two-way OFDM relay network with fairness constraints. To maximize sum capacity, subcarriers and their power are successively allocated to the relays based on channel conditions. Also, the power constraint is imposed on each relay to achieve fairness for the relays. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves sum cap...
متن کاملExtension of the Coverage Region of Multiple Access Channels by Using a Relay
From practical and theoretical viewpoints, performance analysis of communication systems by using information-theoretic results is important. In this paper, based on our previous work on Multiple Access Channel (MAC) and Multiple Access Relay Channel (MARC), we analyze the impact of a relay on the fundamental wireless communications concept, i.e., coverage region of MARC, as a basic model for u...
